Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33820
Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
In Dapper Flight 4 pressing the ACPI power button doesn't switch off the
computer as expected.
Instead it presents a modal dialog asking whether I wish to shut
down/reboot/logout/switch user.
This is contrary to Windows, every other Distribution I know and my long
established expectation. If I press the power button, ever, it is to
switch it off _now_. There is no ambiguity in my mind. It isn't easy to
depress the power button without intending to.
The last thing I want is a dialog asking 'Didn't you want to logout or
do something else, unrelated to pressing the power button?'. If I wanted
that, I'd go to Microsoft.
